McCartney's Brother Mike Claimed in 1984 that Harrison could have been sacked instead of drummer Pete Best in 1962. "George could have been the one," he said 33. After sacking Best, Epstein was forced to employ a bodyguard to protect him from irate Beatles fans when he visited the Cavern Club. 34. According to Cilla Black, Johnny Hutchinson of The Liverpool group The Big Three was first choice to replace Best. He turned the offer down and ended up working on the building trade. 35. Parlophone employees weren't impressed when George Martin presented their debut single Love Me Do to them. One Staffer enquired whether Spike Milligan was behind the record. 36. The band learned to sing harmony by practising along to 1958 hit To Know Him by The Teddy Bears, who featured future Beatles producer Phil Spector. 37. The Beatles' collarless suits were the work of "Tailor To The Stars" Dougie Millings of 63 Old Compton Street, London (other clients: Tommy Steele and Cliff Richard). 38. Even after Please Please Me hit number 2 in 1963. The Beatles still shared hotel rooms on tour - Harrisonb with Lennon, McCartney with Starr. 39. Chart success didn't mean more money: In 1963, they played a show at Wimbledon Palais for a measly £30. 40. The recording of She Loves You was disrupted when fans stormed Abbey Road Studios. One girl lunged at Starr, only to be rugby-tackled by Beatles PA Neil Aspinall.

Those lads from Liverpool were some sick fucks eh? I read most of Many Years From Nowand The Playboy Interviews With John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The Playboy Interviews has a great section in it where the interviewer sits down with Lennon and goes through virtually every Beatles song...who wrote it, what it's about, etc. He pretty much thought that Paul was a bad lyricist, but could write amazing words when he put his mind to it. But then again, Lennon even calls some of his own songs crap...OK, he pretty much thought all the Beatles stuff was crap, and could've been done a lot better.

TBHA member Waits for the revolution Joined: 11/24/07 Location: Houston TEXAS Posts: 1,385	I get tired of all the John hated Paul, Paul hated John, George hated the two of them, everybody hated Ringo garbage. If you look at it realisticly, it was in essence, a marriage that broke up. Not saying they were gay mind you, but they were four men who lived through an experience that would have crushed a single person. They were the only ones they had to rely on to stay sane. Likely they all knew each other's "buttons" and just like in a marriage when the whole thing was breaking up they were doing whatever they could to hurt each other. For example: The song Too Many People by Paul... "Too Many People Going Underground Too Many Reaching For A Piece Of Cake Too Many People Pulled And Pushed Around Too Many Waiting For That Lucky Break That Was Your First Mistake You Took Your Lucky Break And Broke It In Two Now What Can Be Done For You You Broke It In Two Too Many People Sharing Party Lines Too Many People Never Sleeping Late Too Many People Paying Parking Fines Too Many Hungry People Losing Weight That Was Your First Mistake You Took Your Lucky Break And Broke It In Two Now What Can Be Done For You You Broke It In Two Too Many People Preaching Practices Don't Let Them Tell You What You Wanna Be Too Many People Holding Back, This Is Crazy And Maybe It's Not Like Me That Was Your Last Mistake I Find My Love Awake And Waiting To Be Now What Can Be Done For You She's Waiting For Me" Apparently, this whole song is a message from Paul to John, in retort John wrote How Do You Sleep?... "So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise You better see right through that mother's eyes Those freaks was right when they said you was dead The one mistake you made was in your head Ah, how do you sleep? Ah, how do you sleep at night? You live with straights who tell you you was king Jump when your momma tell you anything The only thing you done was yesterday And since you're gone you're just another day Ah, how do you sleep? Ah, how do you sleep at night? Ah, how do you sleep? Ah, how do you sleep at night? A pretty face may last a year or two But pretty soon they'll see what you can do The sound you make is muzak to my ears You must have learned something in all those years Ah, how do you sleep? Ah, how do you sleep at night?" George even came in to help with the recording of this one. Wow! Point is, when you're as close to someone as these four were to each other, the sudden hurt when you realize they're not going to be there anymore makes you lash out a lot of the time. The Beatles were no different. They tried to hurt each other when the band imploded. They got over it though like all grown up people do. Paul was one of the first to show up in New York to comfort Yoko after John had been murdered. Paul was at George's bedside damn near non-stop before he passed away from what I've heard/read. Paul and Ringo still pal around from time to time, but they're older now... it's not like when you're in your 20's and you want your best buddies around you all the time, you want your family and your kids. You reprioritize and change around what's important to you. The Beatles did the same.

discipline318 member Joined: 09/03/08 Location: South Jersey Posts: 305	A marriage is the perfect way to describe it, TBHA. Though the most recent Rolling Stone article does argue that Paul wanted to keep the band together after the Abbey Road album, but I think even he knew it was a lost cause. Sometimes it does seem that John was the one that didn't like anybody or anything, but that was just his way of dealing with things; his defense mechanism. As you can see by the lyrics of How Do You Sleep and Too Many People, John was the one with more bite to him. That was his way of dealing with the whole thing, just like the rest of the 3 were. Even George had I Me Mine. There's the famous story (correct me if I'm wrong or missing anything) of Paul and John fighting about something, and John just pulled down his glasses a bit to reveal his eyes, and nonchalantly looked at Paul and said "It's only me". That pretty much sums up their whole love/hate relationship right there. Paul and Linda also talked to Yoko during the period when John was seperated from her. You can't do stuff like that if you completely hate one another. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/22/2009 10:07AM by discipline318.

You can't do stuff like that if you completely hate one another. Actually, from a certain point of view Paul was the first to leave. Allen Klein came in to legally represent the other three and they were trying to pressure Paul to sign up with him also. Paul said no. At that point, The Beatles were effectively split up. The Beatles having been contractually defined early in their career as being John, Paul, George and Ringo, meant that Paul's refusal to sign with the other three disolved the partnership and The Beatles as an entity was destroyed. But then again during the recording of the White Album, there's the story of Ringo telling everybody he was leaving one by one, and finding out that each of them individually felt like the odd man out. So it could also be said that Ringo left first. meh I've heard the story regarding John and the glasses move before, it's actually very sweet and I can imagine Paul being completely disarmed at that point by his tough teddy boy friend showing off his soul as it were. lol I think George hated Yoko more than Paul or Ringo. There's the scene from the Dick Cavett show where George finds out that Yoko sat in the chair he's currently sitting in and he jumps up in disgust. He then determines that numerous people must have sat in that chair and resolves to sit back down. Oh my.

I recently read an article referring to the infamous interview with Lennon about the whole Christianity/Beatles statement. I found his words to be very insightful and above all, honest. I truely believe the world would be a better place if more people followed the works of the Beatles and not the Bible. I can't think of one violent outburst that has claimed countless lives that was instigated from The Beatles or their music. Religion, on the other hand, just take your pick on which war you want to look at first. All you need is love!!!

" Eight girls we saw," said photographer Dezo Hoffman. 42. November 1963 saw the first appearance of moptop wigs. They were produced in bulk at a factory in Bethnal Green, with one notable order received from a member of Staff at Buckingham Palace. 43. Commercial opportunism launched The Beatles' film career after United Artists' Bud Ornstein found their Parlophone contract excluded movie soundtracks. He promptly signed the band for films, plus lucrative LP tie-ins. 44. Advance orders for With The Beatles totalled 250,000, a record for any album at that point. The previous record holder was Elvis Presley with 200,000 for Blue Hawaii. 45. The Beatles' arrival at New York's Kennedy Airport on 7 February 1964 didn't mark the first time all four ahd set foot on American soil. Harrison had visited his emigre sister Louise in St. Louis the year before. 46. The band's US invasion was nearly scuppered after a photographer abseiling down the side of their hotel room caught Brian Epstein in flagrante with another man. It was hushed up. 47. The pilot of the plane taking the group to Miami from New York for their second Ed Sullivan show appearance marked the occasion by flying while wearing a Beatles wig. 48. The original title of Lennon's book of short stories and sketches, published in April 1964, was In His Own Write and Draw. McCartney suggested shortening it to In His Own Write. 49. Lennon was obsessed with Scalextric model car racetrack. He owned 20 sets of cars and insisted on taking it with him on The Beatles' 1964 British tour. 50. US movie execs got cold feet about the band's Liverpudlian accents in their debut film, 1964's A Hard Day's Night, and suggested dubbing the dialogue using actors. "We can understand a fucking cowboy talking Texan," McCartney pointed out.

A whopping 50,000-plus fans applied for just 728 studio tickets made available for their group's historic Ed Sullivan Show appearance on 9 February 1964. The Beatle Films That Never Were 52. A Talent For Loving: Fabs enter horse race to win a girl's affection. - Ooh to be the person of one Beatles affection is good but all four...excellent, mind you I bet the person would of been blonde seeing as they were all going through their Bardot phase. 53. Shades of Personality: John has split personality, manifested as the other Beatles. 54. Up Against It: Joe Orton script featuring "political asassination, guerilla warfare and tranvestism". 55. The Lord Of The Rings: John as Gollum (hehe), Paul as Frodo (could work), Ringo as Sam (hmm maybe), George as Gandalf (haha). 56. The Three Muskeeters: Period romp that never made it past the planning stage. 57 200,000 people turned up to the Liverpool premiere of A Hard Day's Night on 10 July 1964. Lennon greeted them with a Heil Hitler salute from the balcony of the Town Hall. 58. Some foreign distributors changed the film's title. In Italy it became Tutti Per Uno (All For One); In France, it was Quatre Garcon Dans Le Vent (Four Boys In The Wind). 59. Their career was almost cut short at a Swedish gig in July 1964 when Lennon and McCartney received shocks from unearthed mics. 60. Giving the band their MBE's on 26 October 1965, the Queen asked McCartney how long they'd been together. "Forty years and it don't seem a day too much," he replied

TBHA member Waits for the revolution Joined: 11/24/07 Location: Houston TEXAS Posts: 1,385	Glad you enjoyed that, it always makes me laugh. Just something about watching The Beatles cause Shakespeare to roll over in his grave, makes me laugh uproariously everytime. You're probably right about the "beat down". I'll need to look it up, but if I'm remembering correctly, John actually had to issue an apology to a reporter (? I think) for giving him a Liddypool-style beat down. The story is in John Lennon: The Life (I know I keep harping about this book but it's a good one), I'll look it up in a few and then update you. edit Ok, it took a few, but I found it... Bob Wooler who was a DJ/MC at the Cavern Club, made the mistake of mentioning the Spanish "honeymoon" that John and Brian (Epstein) had gone on - it was rumored that it was a weekend during which John and Brian consumated a relationship though John alternately denied and/or dismissed the rumors. John apparently (uncharacteristicly) unleashed every bit of fury and power in his being on Bob, beating him about the head and body till he had a black eye and bruised ribs. Bob was dissuaded from suing by an ex gratia payment of £200 and a telegram sent by Brian in John's name apologizing for the whole incident. Apparently, this could have destroyed The Beatles' rise to fame had it not been so masterfully managed by Tony Barrow (the Beatles' PR guy), who fed a watered down version of the story to a "friendly" reporter in Fleet Street. Full story is located on Pg. 310-311 John Lennon: The Life by Philip Norman. Phew, had to search for that one! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/24/2009 09:18AM by TBHA.

The band ignored her. 62. A chamber maid at a Dallas Hotel where the band were staying in September 1964 was kidnapped at knifepoint by fans desperate to find out The Beatles' room numbers. 63. 11 September 1964, the band refused to play a show in Jacksonville, Florida until the promoter could be guarantee the audience wouldn't be segregated - Good On Ya!! 64. One entrepreneur got hold of the pillowcases The Beatles had used in a Kansas City Hotel on 17 September 1964. He cut them into 160,000 pieces and sold them for a dollar cash. 65. In 1964, The Beatles became the first people allowed to shop after hours at Harrods. Even The Queen hadn't been afforded the privilege. 66. At the end of 1964, Brian Epstein turned down an offer from a US business syndicate to buy the band's management contracts outright for £3.5million. 67. Harrison ignited a feud with Manchester rivals The Hollies in 1965 when they covered his song If I Needed Someone. "They've spoilt it," he said. "Will he give all the royalties to charity?" responded The Hollies' Graham Nash. 68. Lennon had a PA fitted to his white Rolls-Royce to shout as passers-by. Driving through London's Regent's Park, he startled Rolling Stone Brian Jones by yelling. "You are under arrest!" "Facts" Proving Paul Was Dead 69-78 69. Lennon saying "I buried Paul" at the end of Strawberry Fields Forever. 70. A hand above Paul's head on the Sgt Pepper cover - an Indian sign of death. 71. Paul facing away from photographer on the back cover of Sgt. Pepper. 72. Inside Sgt. Pepper, Paul wears "OPD" patch - Officially Pronounce Dead. 73. Paul's black carnation in Magical Mystery tour; the others wear red. 74. Cartoon Lennon's hand over Paul's head on the Yellow Submarine cover. 75.

The car reg on Abbey Road's sleeve is 28IF - the age paul would have been then if he'd lived. 78. The Abbey Road cover is a funeral march. 79. Around 1965's Help! album, song titles took a turn for the ridiculous. I've Just Seen a Face was titled Auntie Gin's Theme because McCartney's auntie liked it, while It's Only Love was called That's A Nice Hat. 80. The original plot of the Help! film: a suicidal Starr meets a hit man in a bar and employs his new friend to kill him. Once sober, he regrets the decision and spends the rest of the film trying to dodge his bullets. The Paul is Dead thing is the 2nd most searched internet story relating to Paul, I wonder if there are people who still believe that Paul McCartney is dead and the man going around is an imposter.

Driving through London's Regent's Park, he startled Rolling Stone Brian Jones by yelling. "You are under arrest!"

The Lennon-Jones story is hysterical. I read that one in Miles' Many Years From Now. Poor Brian. I have a few friends that believe that Paul is still dead. Some of them even believe that Ringo is too! Nutbags, but I love em all the same. They have some pretty convoluted theories that are just so out there. I laugh at them all the time.

So I have no idea if they make them in other records.

I think they're privatley made. They don't look too hard to make, but I could never bring myself to destroy a perfectly good Beatles record! lol
